dmux-workflows
Multi-agent orchestration using dmux (tmux pane manager for AI agents). Patterns for parallel agent workflows across Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and other harnesses. Use when running multiple agent sessions in parallel or coordinating multi-agent development workflows.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific patterns and commands for orchestrating multi-agent workflows that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs

What this skill does
dmux Workflows Orchestrate parallel AI agent sessions using dmux, a tmux pane manager for agent harnesses. When to Activate Running multiple agent sessions in parallel Coordinating work across Claude Code, Codex, and other harnesses Complex tasks that benefit from divide-and-conquer parallelism User says "run in parallel", "split this work", "use dmux", or "multi-agent" What is dmux dmux is a tmux-based orchestration tool that manages AI agent panes: Press n to create a new pane with a prompt Press m to merge pane output back to the main session Supports: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Gemini, Qwen Install: Install dmux from its repository after reviewing the package. See github.com/standardagents/dmux Quick Start Workflow Patterns Pattern 1: Research + Implement Split research and implementation into parallel tracks: Pattern 2: Multi-File Feature Parallelize work across independent files: Pattern 3: Test + Fix Loop Run tests in one pane, fix in another: Pattern 4: Cross-Harness Use different AI tools for different tasks: Pattern 5: Code Review Pipeline Parallel review perspectives: Best Practices 1. Independent tasks only. Don't parallelize tasks that depend on each other's output. 2. Clear boundaries. Each pane should work on distinct files or concerns. 3. Merge strategically. Review pane output before merging to avoid conflicts. 4. Use git worktrees. For file-conflict-prone work, use separate worktrees per pane. 5. Resource awareness. Each pane uses API tokens — keep total panes under 5-6. …
